DETERMINATION OF TC-99m ACTIVITY AND THYROID UPTAKE IN MEN AND WOMEN PATIENTS USING GAMMA CAMERA
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The calculation of Tc-99m activity and thyroid uptake in men and women patients using gamma camera has been done. This study began with the selection of patients with hyperthyroid cases, ie 10 male patients, 10 hyperthyroid fertile And 10 menopausal women. After 5 minutes injection of Radiofarmaka, the new patient underwent thyroid examination using gamma camera. The calculation of absorbent dose in hyperthyroid cases was performed at 5 min, 10 min and 15 min imaging times. The calculation were done by making ROI on the tyroid region and make ROI in other areas besides thyroid that serves as background. The results showed that the uptake thyroid obtained in this study in normal women ranged from 2.10 to 2.55%, and in normal men ranged from 1.49 to 1.74. Meanwhile, for hyperthyroid cases, the thyroid uptake obtained in male patients ranged from 10.92 to 15.43%, in fertile women ranged from 12.42 to 14.57%, and in postmenopausal women ranging from 8.52 to 9.78%. These results indicate that the thyroid uptake in fertile female patients is significantly higher than in men and postmenopausal women.
